I'm finding it difficult to form words for how much I loved every awesome, intrigue-laden, sometimes impenetrable inch of this book. It's fitting that it was the 100th book I finished this year. It made me exclaim aloud. It made me cry multiple times. Even though I know there are five other books ab...
This book (and the other two companion volumes) was a godsend when I was reading the Niccolo and Lymond series, with plenty of little bits to help untangle the more obscure bits of Lady Dunnett's masterworks. Very much recommended.
Francis Crawford di Lymond è indubbiamente il protagonista di questo e dei successivi cinque romanzi. Figlio cadetto del secondo barone di Culter, è un traditore: quattro anni prima aveva venduto informazioni all'esercito inglese a seguito della sanguinosa sconfitta della Scozia nella battaglia di S...
This is one of the few books I happily reread. Stylistically, the writing is beautiful, and as I read, I feel like I'm dealing with a storyteller who is testing my mind. And then there's the hero.

Checkmate opens as Lymond and his band of mercenaries leave England behind and travel to France to serve the French King in his battles with King Phillip. As Lymond is still set upon returning to Russia King Henri offers Lymond the an...
Book #5 in the Lymond Chronicles as Philippa matures and becomes a force to be reckoned with. "Not to every young girl is it given to enter the harem of the Sultan of Turkey and return to her homeland a virgin." Now that's what I call an attention getting opening! The Ringed Castle begins book #5 in...

Francis comes in disguise as a member of the entourage of a Prince of Ireland, and the game...
